hmm...
should I then promise help with tcl [Big Grin]

shawn, could you do a test with:
-have a com-object throw kix a string that has nul-char
-kix save it in var
-have kix display it and give it back
-have kix ask for the string and directly give it to com-object without first saving it in var

what's the outcome?

if these fail, we would need a real intercommunicating com-object
